Thru the Lens: Antigua

Antigua (pronounced An-tee-gah) never registered on my travel map before, but my sister’s wedding gave me a reason to visit this Caribbean paradise. It’s not a budget destination so be prepared to shell out some serious cash for just about everything. Other than the local rum, nearly every product is imported from neighbouring countries, which helps to explain the high cost of living here. On the other hand, once you see the island’s beautiful white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and lush vegetation you may not want to leave…

Long Bay. Wish I cleaned my lens earlier.

Love the natural orange spots on this turtle!

It really is this nice.

It’s too sunny and the sand is too white.

Fancy a massage on the beach?

There are some awesome looking trees on Antigua.

Yum!

Hi, I'm Steve, formerly a full time backpacker but for now a full time IT professional in Amsterdam. In 2010, I sold nearly everything I owned to travel the world for a year. That year has turned into 2.5 years (with a year long break working in Australia). From scuba diving to sky diving and almost everything in-between, I'm keen to have a go at it!
